Data Sharing

User data stored in the Service database is not shared with any third parties, except as required by law (e.g., to public authorities under legal obligations).

Advertising partners (such as Google AdSense, affiliate programs) do not have access to data from the Service database - they only use their own cookies and systems, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Personal data may be linked to content published by the user (e.g., quizzes, comments). Details regarding copyright, licenses, and content publication rules can be found in the Terms of Service.

Cookies and Advertising

The Service uses cookies necessary for proper functioning and may cooperate with external advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense), who may use their own cookies for advertising and measuring effectiveness. Advertising partners act as independent data controllers in the context of ads. Detailed information about cookie types, consent mechanisms, and managing preferences can be found in our Cookie Policy.

Google Advertising

This Service uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this website. Google’s use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Service and/or other websites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/ads. More information about Google’s advertising practices and technologies can be found in the Google Ads Policy.

Data Transfers and Processors

Some processing activities (e.g., advertising, analytics tools) may be carried out by entities located outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, we apply appropriate data protection measures (e.g., standard contractual clauses) or rely on the privacy policies of those entities.
